Glossary

Column

Amino Acids - are the building blocks of protein. Your body is primarily made of protein.  And protein in turn, is made up of chains of amino acids What distinguishes all amino acids is that they all have a group, (amine group), made of 1 atom of nitrogen & 2 atoms of hydrogen. (NH2)

Free-Form Amino Acids - Individual amino acids that are  unattached to each other or anything else & therefore able to be immediately absorbed into the blood stream with no digestion necessary. Since, unlike proteins, free-form amino acids require absolutely no digestion, they can be absorbed by anyone no matter how old they may be or the condition of their digestive system.  Also, unlike proteins, free-form amino acids can be taken on an empty stomach such as right before a workout.  Whereas proteins have to have a mass of food sufficient to stimulate the release of digestive juices. This is why most protein supplements are presented as blender drinks.  Free-form amino acids are not to be confused with so-called "predigested protein." which is not really predigested but actually partially digested.

Negative nitrogen balance - The condition of excreting more amino acids & protein than one is taking in. This makes it difficult to maintain ones body since the body's tissues are mainly made of protein & amino acids which require constant maintenance & repair.

Precursors - the substance from which another substance is made.

Protein - Chains of some combination of the 20 so-called "proteogenic" amino acids. (proteogenic means to generate protein). In other words their are only 20  amino acids from which all proteins in all organic life both animal & vegetable are made. Not all 20 are in every protein, but nothing else but some portion of the 20 proteogenic amino acids in repetitive long chains often approx. 100,000 amino acids long are what all proteins in all life are made from.

Secretalogical cells - Cells that secrete hormones.

INGREDIENTS IN MONTI-RELIEF
Menthol - used as a topical analgesic, providing local anesthetic activity. It helps other active ingredients permeate the skin surface.
Menthol Salicylate - helps promote deep tissue penetration and distribution when applied topically.
Glucosamine HCL - Glucosamine is a naturally-occurring substance in the body (a glucose molecule bound to glutamine), which is a component of cartilage. It is important for maintenance and repair of joint tissue, including tendons and ligaments. It also enhances the production of hyalironic acid, which helps produce the synovium fluid for lubricating the joints.
Chondroitin Sulfate - is believed to promote elasticity in cartilage and inhibit the enzymes that breakdown cartilage.
Capsicum - is a natural herb from cayenne berries, and one of its ingredients, Capsaicin, when applied topically, helps to relieve pain. It functions by limiting the production of a neural pain transmitter called Substance P. Capsaicin helps prevent nerves from replenishing this substance, thus preventing nerves from transmitting pain signals to the brain. It has been used to control pain in those with rheumatoid arthritis as well as osteoarthritis.
Emu Oil - a natural oil from the emu bird (a large Australian flightless bird similar to the ostrich) is included to enhance the effects of the Monti-Relief ingredients.
Aloe Vera Gel (Aloe Barbadensis) - comes from the succulent leaves of the Aloe Vera plant, which is known for providing soothing relief.
Tea Tree Oil - is an essential oil with natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. It acts as a natural anesthetic.
Eucalyptus Oil - from the bark of the eucalyptus tree. Known for anti-inflammatory properties, it also helps to relax tired and sore muscles.
